The physical setting is very nice – just as pictured. We required a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. The kitchen was sufficient for some broiling for dinner and for breakfasts, etc. The location was OK but manageable – a little bit far from the lagoon area and markets. Kevin et al. were... More

Thanks for your feedback, glad to hear you enjoyed Cairns. Far North Queensland is known for fresh air and tropical climate, Markets and lagoon are around a 10 min walk from here and we have never hidden that fact. Cairns weather and wide flat walking streets make it easy and pleasurable. Cairns offer a unique tuk tuk pushbike ride and... More

We had intended to use our camping trailer but due to the heavy rains previous we decided to stay in apartment for few days. Kevin and Lynda were excellent host with lots of local knowledge. The rooms were exceptionally clean and modern. The pool and BBQ area was great also.

We had a great stay at the Getaway. Close walking distance to the Esplanade. Clean and spacious accomodations (we rented a 2 bedroom). The office staff was very friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions. We would definately stay at the Getaway again.

We arrived in Cairns on January 20, but were unable to stay at the Getaway our first night, as the office had already closed for the day. The next morning, we went to the office and Kevin showed us an available suite -- even though it was only 8:30 am, he said we could check in already! Three of us... More

With lots of options of places to stay in Cairns, this place was amazing. The location was within a 10 minute walk of all the restaurants on the esplanade.

We all had a marvellous stay at Getaway On Grafton. The apartment was very spacious and contained everything that we needed to make us comfortable. The grounds and the pool were equally pleasing. But by far the most pleasing thing about the place were the owners who were friendly and helpful. Kevin and Linda organised our tours for us. We... More
